Fellow hackers,
My friend Knightwise told me this morning that he'd received word that Lord Drachenblut passed away after a long battle with cancer. To be blunt, I'm crushed. I wasn't ready for my friend to leave this planet yet, and I'm going to miss him now that he has.
Many of you know of Lord Drachenblut from his activities with The Linux Link Tech Show, or from his own project Open FOSS Training.
Or maybe you knew him from his work with Fedora; he was a Fedora ambassador, an active member of the Fedora community, and (little did I know, until just now!) the founder and owner of the Google+ Fedora page.
Or maybe you knew him as that one guy who's been around the Binary Revolution and Hacker Public Radio community for-basically-ever. Maybe you helped send him to SCale x13. Maybe you attended his Indiana Linux Fest.
Or maybe you didn't know him at all. That's OK, but I wish you could have. Lord D was a nerd, and I mean that as the highest of compliments. He was like my high school buddies, that tall guy in a utili-kilt who scared people because he listened to Black Metal and talked openly about whatever the heck he wanted to. A guy who got things done, who supported others whenever they needed support, and, darnit, a guy who wasn't afraid to ask for support when he needed it. That's probably the thing that touches me the most: the fact that when Lord D needed help to get Open FOSS Training started, he asked me for help. Why is that a big deal?
Because it meant that when he sat down and thought "Who can I count on to support me when I need help?"
He thought of me.
I am honoured to have been in Lord Drachenblut's life. I just wish he was still in mine.
God speed, Lord Drachenblut.
Klaatu talks about AppImages, the magickal technology that lets you build no-install applications that run on ANY Linux distro. In use by Krita, MyPaint, digiKam, MuseScore, and more. Also, Unix Porn is back thanks to a free domain name, and Listener Feedback is reviewed.

And we're back! Klaatu has a fancy new podcast auto-editing system (not really that fancy: it's just a shell script and a really basic sox commands, but maybe it will get fancy later) to enable him to podcast in about half the time. Get your catchers ready.
